Meanwhile, in front of Lothur's house...
"Viktoria! Open the door. We are here with His Imperial Highness, Klaus Leopoldine!" One of the Second Prince's guards' men shouted as he knocked on this woman's door.
After leaving the academy, they quickly came to this place to contest Lothur and Luis' agreement.
That was an unpalatable contract for them. How could they accept those ridiculous conditions without doing anything about it?
So this group was there to renegotiate.
Klaus had an ugly expression as he clenched his fists and waited to see these people who dared to trick the imperial family.
But instead of Viktoria, the one who appeared to attend them was Annaliese.
"Oh? So Klaus Leopoldine is in the city?" Annaliese glared at the prince just after opening the door to her home, glaring at the prince in an ugly way.
Klaus' guards and advisors couldn't pay attention to this girl's audacity in addressing the prince when they noticed her level 17.
"What? Nascent Soul Transcendent?" All of them, including Klaus, exclaimed almost at the same time.
"That's impossible! How can this girl be at that level?"
"Annaliese Frost, tell us what you did! How did you reach this cultivation?"
"Humph, Klaus, tell your dogs to shut their mouths." She said in an irritated manner.
The Leopoldine family was behind much of the disgrace of House Frost.
Ultimately, Lars was responsible for the attack that spawned all the deaths around the Frost estate and eventually gave rise to the spectres.
She couldn't blame spectres for losing her child, but she could do that against the Leopoldine family!
"Frost girl, watch how you speak! You are standing in front of His Highness Klaus Leopoldine!" Klaus' maternal grandfather, over there in that group, said this out loud, annoyed at this girl's manners.
She clenched her fists and laughed at those words. "Just because of the support you have from the shadows, I won't finish you all off here and now.
But make no mistake. If you anger me, I will still beat you until you no longer dare to speak those words in front of me." She narrowed her eyes even more. "Don't think my family will forget all you have done against us!"
"Annaliese!" Klaus stepped forward and then said. "I will ignore your insolence today. But don't think your cultivation level gives you the right to talk like that!
However, let's talk about another matter. Lothur Ritter forced Luis to sign an outrageous agreement. I want to renegotiate it! I don't accept the conditions agreed upon between those two."
Annaliese heard this and understood why these people had so much courage to go to this estate.
"Renegotiate? Find Lothur and talk it over with him. I can't, and even if I could, I wouldn't change a thing." She said, smiling, "But I don't think you would have the courage to do that..."
"Don't be ridiculous!" Klaus shouted. "Lothur is missing. Where could I possibly find him? Viktoria should have the power to help me solve this in his absence. Then bring her here!"
"Lothur is the controller of the Ritter Motor Company, and only he can alter agreements signed with Blood Contracts. Viktoria, at most, can represent his interests. But she can't renegotiate signed contracts." She laughed.
"Only if Lothur died would that change... But I will tell you this, his soul sign is pretty strong, haha. I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon."
"If that's the case, how will this auction happen? How will his controller's holdings be auctioned off without his presence?" One of the men in that group asked.
"Lothur left a permit for us to do that before the Secret Realm. Anyway, if that's all you want, leave. I don't want to see you on my doorstep."
"Tsk!"
"It doesn't end here!"
Before they left, she smiled and said. "By the way, don't bother trying to participate in tomorrow's auction. The Leopoldine family is not welcome at the Ritter Motor Company."
As they stared hatefully at her, Annaliese returned to her house, slamming the door in these people's faces.
As she returned to Lothur's side, Annaliese sighed, feeling better for having treated those people in such a way.
Meanwhile, Lothur was watching in the direction of those people, especially the level 17 man with silver hair just like his.
'I didn't think one of you would come to my door...' Lothur felt the darkness of his powers leaking from his body as his irises turned red.
ƥandasnovel.com His desire to kill these people was extreme, and he had almost done it a few times in the last few moments.
But he held on tightly not to do so.
When Annaliese came to where he was, Lothur left without giving her a chance to talk about these people.
"Lothur?" She looked to where he had left, wondering what he would do now.
...
Meanwhile, at the Frost estate...
At this instant, almost the entire core of what had remained of this family was gathered in a large hall, where there were several armchairs at the sides of that area.
At one end of this area were two oversized chairs where Mabel and Aiken normally sat.
However, at the moment, Viktoria was sitting next to her mother while the group of visitors was standing in the center of that area, where several elders were in the side armchairs.
In front of them, the envoys of the Rios family had just introduced themselves to the people who did not know them there.
Mabel knew them very well but said nothing, watching the people from her family to see what they wanted with them.
"... Viktoria, congratulations on achieving your current cultivation. You are even more talented than your mother and can achieve great things in the future." Jonas said this, seeing how beautiful his cousin's daughter was.
Looking at her, he couldn't help but praise her beauty. "Besides being talented, you are also gorgeous. Haha, you should go to Lenz in the future. You will be able to meet people who deserve to be by your side there.
I'm sure you'll be able to forget your husband's runaway when you meet the right person."
Viktoria continued to stare coldly at these people, not liking what this man was saying at all.
Then when he finished speaking, she said. "Jonas Rios, don't call me by my first name. You can call me Matriarch Ritter or Frost if you prefer.
As for my husband, I suggest you be careful before talking about him. I have no intention of forgetting him.
She ignored Helmut, who was there with this group, showing her that the Rios family was behind this person.
Jonas laughed bitterly and said. "We are here for the Ritter Motor Company. Our families have a very special connection, so I am here to further strengthen our ties.
We want to buy part of your shares in this company!"
